Not much detail, Rob.

Doesn't say if it can do LX, Single shot or video, or if its colour or mono.

[Rob]

No LX... just a planet & moon CCD

Looking at the specs available I would say avoid that one Rob. CMOS sensor with a 3 lux rating doesn't sound inspiring. Hmm and for £60....ouch!  There's Toucam Pro II's on Ebay, buy it now for £24.

Cheers Russ... just thought it worth bringing to the forum, saw the add in the new Sky at Night Mag (ace cameras), pro 2's for £24 your joking!!

Russ,

Couldn't help wondering if your refereing too the ACUTER DI?????  I have one of these and find no problem with it Have tested it out a couple of time to get it  set up and was quite happy with the results. Will be using it properly on my 200mm Dob  (If and when the weather improves and I can see if the heavens are still there)

Will keep you informed as to the final results.

AJ.

p.s. It definitely does single, Vid, and colour.

Sorry AJ, well and truly put my foot in it. Just goes to show that mere figures don't tell the whole story. I will say no more, other than looking forward to the results.

Russ

[Rob]

It is indeed the DI. Ace are aelling them for £60!!

Hi Russ,

Reason I havent really tested it properly yet the fact is I've had to dash from the garden to my PC to check the focus then back to the garden but have now got a lap top to take outside.  Mohamad and the Mountain touch I suppose

Now waiting for clear skys (Some hope up here )

Hi All,

I'm brand new to SGL and might be a little out of place with my question. I have a Samsung SCB 4000 camera that I am just now learning how to use a little bit. I am looking for some software to talk to this camera via RS 485. Does anyone know where I might find this animal?
